Ever since the Reserve Bank has gone on a rate hiking spree starting May this year, short to medium term interest rates on bank deposits like RDs and FDs have gone up considerably. Based on an assessment of the macroeconomic situation and its outlook, the central bank MPC in its October policy meet decided to increase the policy repo rate by 50 basis points to take the repo rate to 5.9 percent.

In line with the high interest rate regime, lenders are now offering RD subscribers interest rates in the range of 4.25 percent to 6.25 percent. Most major banks in India offer RDs with a term that often ranges between 6 months to 10 years.
